Chapter 114: One Hundred Secrets and One Neglect
Although Zhang Laohan told Xiao Ling that there was no Moon Valley here, he felt that the Moon Valley was probably the Moon Valley in Luo Yi's message! After all, it is not very standard for locals to speak Mandarin, and God knows if Luo Yi heard it at that time.
So, Xiao Ling asked Zhang Laohan about the specific location of the Moon Ditch.
Zhang Laohan was a little surprised, and after taking a puff of cigarette, he said slowly: "Child, I think you should not go to that place!" ”
"Why?" Liu Can interjected.
"Moon Gully is at the southernmost tip of the Great Rift Valley, and to get there, you have to climb over five mountains, and that one is all primeval jungle, inaccessible, and there is no way at all!"
"I can't say what beasts are in the mountains, but the mountains in that area are steep and ravines, and if you are not careful, you will have an accident. You are so young, you are still the treasures of your parents, if there is an accident, the family will be in pain! ”
After that, Zhang Laohan sighed heavily and continued: "A few years ago, my grandson went out hunting, and it was in that area that he fell into a deep valley and died! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Ling and the three of them looked at each other, and they didn't dare to say more for a while.
After a while, it was Liu Can who broke the silence: "Uncle, I'm sorry!" ”
"Alas, it's not your fault, it's been many years, and we two old guys can't let it go!" Zhang Laohan said gloomily.
"Uncle, there is no other way to go except to climb the mountain?" Wang Hui didn't give up, he didn't care about the old man's mood at all.
"Yes, yes, but I've never been there." Zhang Laohan glanced at Wang Hui, took a puff of cigarette, and continued: "I heard the older generation say that if you enter the No. 10 hole in the Great Rift Valley Scenic Area, you can directly reach the bottom of the valley, and then go all the way to the south, you can find the Moon Ditch. ”
"But that's what I heard when I was a kid, and no one has been there in recent decades."
"Hole 10?!" Wang Hui frowned and asked, "Uncle, since it is a scenic area, no tourists have ever entered it?" ”
"Yes, but most of them turned back halfway!"
"Why?"
"Because not only is there no light in it, but it has to wade through the water! I heard that there are a lot of bats in it. ”
"How deep is the water?"
"It's not too deep, the deepest part should be almost to the lower abdomen."
"Is it natural? How long is the hole? ”
"Not exactly. This hole has been around for a long time, and later it was re-dug in order to divert water, and it is a semi-artificial aqueduct. It's dark inside, and it's about a kilometer long. ”
Hearing this, the three of them were overjoyed, and they glanced at each other.
Seeing this, Zhang Laohan shook his head and sighed: "Don't you know, although you can reach the bottom of the valley through Cave No. 10, it is covered by trees all year round, and it is damp and difficult to walk. ”
"Uncle, have you ever been to the bottom?" Xiao Ling wanted to know about the situation at the bottom.
"No, it's okay who will go to that kind of place, the work in the field can't be done." Zhang Laohan shook his head.
At this time, Aunt An came out with a basket of walnuts and warmly beckoned Xiao Ling to taste them.
The three of them got the news and were in a good mood, Xiao Ling was also afraid of arousing Uncle Zhang's sadness again, so he pulled the topic away, and made the two old people laugh heartily, and they didn't disperse until half past ten in the evening.
Early the next morning, Luo Ziyan also recovered her spirits, and seemed to have adapted a lot to the environment here. After Xiao Ling secretly left five hundred yuan in the room, he came out with everyone to say goodbye to the two old men.
After returning to the market town, the three of them replenished some water and food, and after inquiring about the location of Cave 10, they rushed over without stopping.
Due to the attention of the government in recent years, although the road of the Jiyi Grand Canyon has been completely repaired, it is built on the cliff wall, twisting and turning, winding, and the outside is an extremely thick cement guardrail, and beyond the guardrail is a bottomless valley ditch! At a depth of more than 300 meters, people will be a little dizzy if they stand here and stretch out their heads to look out.
It is probably difficult to build, there are not many places where the road is paved with stone slabs, some places are still potholes, people who have not walked the mountain road are still a little difficult, except for the occasional tourists, from time to time you can also meet the horse team carrying things!
"This must be part of the Ancient Tea Horse Road." Li Xue, who was walking behind Xiao Ling, said.
"The poor monk doesn't know!" Liu Can took the words: "This ghost place looks really scary, but fortunately, Lao Tzu has no fear of heights!" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Ling's heart moved, and then he turned back to look at Wang Hui, but saw that he didn't have the slightest abnormality, and he also looked down at the bottom of the valley from time to time.
Isn't it, this fat man has always been afraid of heights, why is he like a nobody now?! Xiao Ling wanted to tease a few words, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea.
"Hey, Thirteen, did you say that Yu Zhenxing's secret hiding place would be in the cave?" Liu Can asked again.
At this moment, Xiao Ling already knew that the person in front of him was a Xibei goods, but after so many things, his mind has matured a lot, and he is even more aged, plus he is also extremely confident in his own ability - with him, no one wants to play any tricks!
Therefore, Xiao Ling didn't have the slightest strange expression, and scolded with a smile: "Monk, don't you want to find a cave here to practice?" ”
"Nonsense!" Wang Hui, who walked at the end, also scolded: "Uncle Luo's message made it very clear, 'There are holes in your clothes, and those who go will not return them'!" ”
"This is easy to understand, but the 'one who goes will not return' is very much like a warning!" Li Xue said.
"My dad meant to remind us that there was something extremely dangerous hidden in that so-called hole!" Luo Ziyan said.
"Meat ball, do you understand what Lao Tzu means?" Liu Can was not convinced, and continued to raise the bar with Wang Hui: "When I say cave, I don't mean a cave. Since Uncle Luo has been here before, and it is to go diving in the Blue Hole, I think the hole he said is actually referring to the Blue Hole! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Ling immediately began to regret it, because he thought of what Shi Yi had said on the train, and in fact, he also thought of it at that time. If Liu Can's judgment was not problematic, then even if they found Moon Valley and the Blue Hole, they would be helpless!
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling stopped: "Let's take a rest first, the monk's words just now reminded me that we forgot an extremely important thing!" ”
Hearing him say this, everyone was surprised, and they all stopped, leaned against the guardrail and began to rest.
"What do you think of?" Luo Ziyan was shocked, after all, she had great hopes for this operation, if Xiao Ling was not alarmist, it meant that they were going to return in vain this time. Saving people is like fighting fire, of course she is in a hurry.
"If the monk guessed correctly, we forgot to prepare diving equipment!" Xiao Ling was already worried.
"Yes, Liu Can's words are very reasonable, Uncle Luo didn't come to Yunnan to dive in the blue hole, and their discovery is also related to the blue hole, maybe they found something in the blue hole!" Li Xue also understood what Xiao Ling meant.
"My day, a hundred secrets are sparse!" Wang Hui immediately slapped his head heavily.
